Firefighters Douse Extra-Alarm Fire In Park Manor
CHICAGO (STMW) -- An extra-alarm blaze broke out early Monday afternoon in the South Side Park Manor neighborhood.
A second alarm was called about 12:15 p.m. and a third alarm at about 12:35 p.m. for a one-story building in the 6800 block of South Cottage Grove Avenue, according to Fire Media Affairs.
The fire is in a vacant, 200-by-200-foot commercial building, Fire Media Affairs said.
The vacant building appears to have formerly housed a car wash and auto body shop.

No injuries were reported, Fire Media Affairs said.
The fire was extinguished at 1:15 p.m., Fire Media Affairs said.
